Galloway

A rare but distinguished Scottish name. The original Galloway is a region in south-west Scotland, and the meaning ("stranger-Gaels") refers to its mixed population of Scandinavian and Gaelic-speaking people. It later became a surname and a sturdy breed of cattle. Galloway could be a fresh addition to better-known Scottish places like Murray and Ross.

Pronounced GAL-uh-way.

As of October 2026, Galloway ranked #12706 in US births in 2015 SSA, peaked at #8328 in 1989.
